Architecture in Southern California

     "'The health-seeker who, after suffering in both mind and body, after vainly trying the cold climate of Minnesota and the warm climate of Florida, after visiting Mentone, Cannes, and Nice, after traveling to Cuba and Algiers, and noticing that he is losing ounce upon ounce of his flesh, that his cheeks grow more sunken, his appetite more capricious, his breath more hurried, that his temperature is no longer normal . . . turns with a new gleam of hope toward the occident.' So wrote Walter Lindley and J.P. Widney in their popular California of the South, first published in 1888."
